About the Super Ray Heat Shield
The Rinnai Super Ray heat shield acts a deector/insulator when tted to a Super Ray
W-Series heater. This has the benet of reducing ceiling clearances, giving the owner exibility
about where the Super Ray heater can be positioned.
For example:
The ceiling clearance for a Rinnai Super Ray WMA 16 reduces from 1 m to 0.5 m with a heat
shield installed.
Constructed from stainless steel and heat resistant insulator board.

clearance of a Super Ray without a heat shield which
is 0.5 m.
